Fibromyalgia Patients - A Natural Cure?

For years now fibromyalgia has been shown to be associated with high metal levels – cadmium, mercury, even and especially copper.  Many peer-reviewed studies support this theory – the underlying, unanswered question was why patients have such high metal levels?

Dr. Purser, as an endocrinologist, researched for several years and wrote over a dozen top-seller books on Amazon covering his work while designing numerous supplements for major companies in Utah. He has a #1 book on pituitary and hormone dysfunction as a major cause of fibromyalgia and treats patients suffering this debilitating disorder.

When a patient presented with significantly high levels of copper conformed with the NCC (the Non-Ceruloplasmin bound Copper calculation based on lab parameters), Dr. Purser performed a Spectracell™ Comprehensive Micronutrient panel (an FDA approved 'intracellular' test) which showed a serious deficiency of copper.

Dr. Purser concluded her copper metallothionein was dysfunctioning (an enzyme that moves metals properly throughout the body) and prescribed several supplements critical to metallothionein function. Within six weeks her symptoms of fibromyalgia were resolved.

Intrigued from his patient's results, Dr. Purser performed a 43 patient in-office study with the same results.

Currently, Dr. Purser and a large national pain organization are preparing to perform a fibromyalgia study for the Journal of the American Medical Association. While doing so, he has successfully treated hundreds of other patients with fibromyalgia using a supplement approach that has yet to fail.

Dr. Purser also feels these symptoms are genetic, as fibromyalgia runs in families. If patients stop or dramatically decrease supplement levels, usually the symptoms return.

If you would like to try this excellent natural approach for fibromyalgia -- the labs, evaluation, and treatment are inexpensive to find the resolution of your symptoms.

Do You Have the MTHFR Gene Error?

When you search for MTHFR on Amazon, you find Dr. Purser’s book, “The 85% Solution”, covering this particular topic. This book is one of Dr. Purser best-sellers and could actually be about you.

Dr. Purser has treated many exhausted and depressed patients in Utah (the antidepressant capital of the world) who were given quick fixes of Ritalin™/Adderall™ (fatigue) or antidepressants (depression). He also saw many patients of all ages (men and women) with hormone deficiencies such as low testosterone.

Dr. Purser’s research showed most patients had serious intracellular vitamin deficiencies – usually B12, folate, and pantothenate. Either all patients were vegans (not the case) or had something seriously wrong. It turned out to be MTHFR which led him to write the first medical book on the subject. In addition to the book, he designed the best-selling supplement, MTHFR Support, used by physicians for the error.

If you have MTHFR and do not feel great with your current treatments, you may not be getting the right combinations of vitamins and supplements. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com.

Fighting Fatigue and Depression?

Do you chronically feel tired, fatigued, or exhausted? Do you face a type of depression that really just does not feel like depression? So tired after you had that last baby that you could not get out of bed? Felt like you’re moving slowly mud every day?

Has the amphetamine really helped? Or some antidepressant which made you feel like a zombie? It’s definitely not an Adderall™ or Prozac™ deficiency.

Maybe you’ve been told it was because of your low testosterone or thyroid? Then why do you have low thyroid or testosterone? Did anyone tell you or just treat you? You probably have something more serious – either a nutritional (vitamin) deficiency or a genetic error blocking absorption of key vitamins at a cellular level.

We can help you eliminate the fatigue naturally. I am not a naturopath, but a physician who listens and spends time to figure you out. Contact my office today for an appointment at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com.

Natural Osteoporosis Therapy

Osteoporosis is a problem many individuals face. However, osteopenia (a precursor to osteoporosis) is an even bigger challenge few recognize. To compound the issue, many doctors prescribe bisphosphonates when undiagnosed (or improperly diagnosed) vitamin deficiencies are causing osteopenia and osteoporosis. Unfortunately, bisphosphonates are reported to have a 75% rate of serious side effects.

Vitamin deficiencies are no joking matter in relation to osteoporosis. Most know a lack of Vitamin D can cause softer bones and lower levels of calcium. Yet, many other vitamin deficiencies, including magnesium and zinc deficiencies, may lead to osteoporosis.

In our research, we found intracellular levels of these vitamins are far more accurate than serum levels to assess deficiencies. Therefore, we use a patented (FDA & HHS approved) method that measures 39 potential deficiencies in addition to properly obtaining serum levels of various hormones (all of which can impact quality of life, bones, cardiovascular health, and sexuality). When vitamin and hormonal levels are optimized, majority of patients experience an increase of bone density and do not rely on bisphosphonates (or similar drugs).
